Can I open a 09 project in iMovie 06?

I just finished a project in iMovie09 but now I'm reading about the single-field processing and don't want to jeopardize the quality of my project so I want to move it to 06.

What do you mean it's nondestructive to the source?
iMovie 08/09 both use single-field processing. This means that every other visible horizontal line is removed. I can tell a huge difference in quality from the older iMovies.

How can I save and recover projects in iMovie 09?

I created a (slide show) project for the first time in iMovie 09, sent it to iTunes and then closed iMovie. The instructions said it should have automatically saved my work, but hwhen I opened iMovie again, the project was empty. When I go to the Finder and then Movies, then iMovies, then click on the project and do Get Info, it says it is 78 MB and that it was modified at the date and time I modified. If I right click and choose Show Package Contents, there is a folder there is quick time file with with the slides I used and a folder with the mv4 file. but the iMovie file is still blank.
Why did iMovie not save the project? And is there some way to recover the project?
Many thanks for any help.

I don't think you can import a FCP X project to iMovie, but if I am wrong I guess someone will correct me.

Why can't i edit my project in imovie anymore?? (over 1 hr long) - is this a bug ?

why can't i edit my project in imovie anymore?? (over 1 hr long) - is this a bug ?

Hi
There is a limiting factor that's easy to miss.
• FREE SPACE on Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk
When this goes low then iMovie, Mac OS and all applications runs into problems. So to get a safe way to work (for me) I set a minimum that I try to never go lower than. (Sorry for strange sentence)
I never let my Mac (Macintosh HD) go lower than 25GB free space. If it does - then I move away things to an external hard disk (always Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - as nothing else will do for VIDEO)
Else - in iDVD Time is the limiting factor. (iMovie - I never run into any - my monster Vacation epos is >>6 hours)
iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
• Best Performances
(movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.

I can't open the inspector window in iMovie 11.

Hi everyone. I'm working on a project in iMovie 11 and suddenly I can't open the inspector window. I really can use some help. Maybe by mistake I hit a button. Thanks

Normally you open the inspector by clicking on the little gear icon in a clip. If that is not working, I would suggest...
1) Shut down iMovie.
2) Trash the iMovie Preferences. See this post for instructions.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4061
3) If that still does not work, delete the iMovie App and reinstall from the App store.
4) If that still does not work, reinstall OSX.

Can't open saved iDVD project

I've been working on my first iDVD project for some time now using iMovie/iDVD08. The first version (movie and slideshow) works fine and I can open the associated .dvdproj file and make amendments if and as required. The DVD which was produced looks good.
However, as it's a 57-minute long movie, I was keen to introduce chapters. I used GarageBand for this purpose, sent the movie with chapters back to iDVD and added appropriate Scene menus. All worked fine on my computer. I saved the new project and retrieved it (just to be sure to be sure). All OK so far. I burned a new DVD which looks good and scene selection works great, however ....
can't now retrieve the .dvdproj. Any attempt to do so causes iDvd to hang. Activity monitor shows "Encoder server not responding." I need to force quit this process and also iDvd itself to get out of this bind. Very frustrating. I've been through this entire process now twice (recreating from first chapter-free version) and the problem recurs.
Can anybody assist?

Hello, Conor,
Welcome to the discussions.
First, you should delete iDVD's preference file. With iDVD closed, go to your home folder(YourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.idvd.plist.
Drag this plist file to the trash. Don't worry; iDVD will create a new fresh one when you relaunch it.
See if you can open your project now.
Post back if this did not work.
Now, if you had an iDVD project that burned successfully, and you still have that iDVD project saved, you should be able to open it just as you did when you were working on it. Getting that message about the encoder server not responding is strange. Your project should already have encoded since you were able to burn a DVD. That problem may be resolved by deleting the plist file. You might also try just shutting down the computer and restarting it.
However, remember that iDVD is not like iMovie where the project's contents are actually saved within the project. An iDVD project should be thought of as a virtual or alias project. Its files point to their location on your computer. So, your iMovie is not physically within iDVD's files. If you move or delete any files that your iDVD project needs, iDVD will not be able to locate them.
It is highly recommended that you do a 'save as disc image' for each of your iDVD projects. This process looks just as if iDVD is burning a disk, but it is creating a disk image that can be used to do the actual burn, using Disk Utility.
It is useful to keep your projects as their disk images to do further disk-burning of that project in the future. The disk images cannot be edited, so be sure you are completely finished editing your project before creating a disk image. A disk image is a self-contained file, so you no longer need to keep your original iMovie or iDVD projects. Keeping only the disk images will also save drive space.

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93006
Why do you still need the iDVD project if you have already burned your DVD? If you want to make further edits to your iMovie and burn a new DVD, you can always recreate your iDVD project.....not the simplest solution, nut once you have created an iDVD project, it is usually fairly quick to recreate it .
If you just want to burn more disks from that project, you can always use the first DVD to make a disk image of your project, and use that disk image for further burning.

Can't open a new project since update to 7.1.1!!!!!

Well, I can no longer create a new project in iMovie 7.1.1 since I updated today! Anybody else run into this problem? I open up the File menu and the New Project menu item is grayed out.

Same here. Every 'File' menu item is greyed out except 'Import from camera'.
Tried re-installing, but 7.0.0 crashes, probably due to left over garbage from the 7.1.1 update.
Just updating to 7.1 also greys the menus out

How can I open an AEP project and make all media OFFLINE?

Hi There,
I am working with an AEP file that is on the network that has pretty heavy media files linked to the project. Every time I open the file over the network, AE takes FOREVER to open it. I remember somebody showed me a way to open up a file and making all the media offline. Something like holding ALT when pressing the open button on the Open File dialog. Although, I can't remember if this is right. I'm on a Mac, and I'd like to know if there is a way to do this so I can open up the project without waiting, and simply link the files that I really need to be linked so I can work quicker.
Anybody have any suggestion? Thank you for your time and help!

>You can just change the name of the folder where your sources are stored.
That works well for Windows, but Mac OS is a little trickier. The OS keeps track of folder name changes (even on network directories) and will re-direct requests appropriately. Very cool for users, very bad if you're trying to fool a program like AE. (Had to struggle with this about a month ago to offline some files.)
The only way I was able to make it work was by changing the name of the folder from a different computer while the main computer was disconnected from that server.

Can't open my IBA project: error parasing document index: invalid character in attribute value

Hi guys,
I am new of iBooks Author and I am not HTML code savvy (expect the very basics). I have to send an iBooks for an University exam and I can't open my file anymore.
I was working on it since Saturday, I saved many times and I have quit the iBooks Author and rebooted my iMac few moments ago. There were no crashes.
The project is a iBook with pictures, videos and some Tumult Hype animations. It is 248Mb.
Now I can't open the file (but I can see it in quick view). The error message is in the subject, but here it is again:
"Progetto iBooks" couldn't be opened. Error parsing document index: invalid character in attribute value.
Now, I have to send the project today (here in Italy it is now 7:10 am) and so I am kind of desperate.
Any suggestion?
I am already working on making a new ibook, but if someone could give me a workaround to fix it and open it on iBooks I would be extremely grateful.
Best regards,
Sebastiano

Hi Sebastiano,
Did you ever get any answer? I have the same problem and now have to work from an old version again (good thing I had backup one manually!)
Thx

Can't open 1.0 projects in CS3 (no subtitles)

After working with Encore 1.0 for forever and a day, I finally got PPro CS3 with its accompanying Encore (running on Windows XP SP2). But I cannot open any Encore 1.0 projects. Trying to open my current project, I get this complaint:
>Encore cannot open Encore 1.0 projects. Open and save the project in Encore 2.0 or earlier, then try again.
A search turned up
this Knowledge Base article. It claims the reason is subtitles, but I have no subtitles in this project (in fact, I have only used subtitles once ever, and this was definitely not that project).
As a test, I tried opening various older project files. In a couple instances Encore CS3 gave the same error as above, but most of the time it simply crashed, with the following "details":
>AppName: adobe encore.exe AppVer: 3.0.0.268 ModName: sonicauthorcore.dll
ModVer: 3.0.0.268 Offset: 004e4e20
The message or crash would not occur immediately, but after the several-second process of "preparing transcode settings", etc. that occurs in a small window with a progress bar, if you know what I'm talking about. So it seems like it doesn't like something about the assets it is processing, but I don't know what, because all these projects are different, and most were started from scratch as fresh projects, with video and menus created independently from other projects (some menus created within Encore 1.0, others using Photoshop CS2; some video streams brought in as AVI, others as MPEG2-DVD).
Ironically, if I try to open the only project I have that actually
does have subtitles, Encore CS3 is the most civil, and in theory it might even successfully open the project. It says:
>This project contains subtitles in an older format. Opening the project will convert the subtitles to the new format, but the subtitles will no longer be compatible with the version of the software used the create them. Would you like to continue opening the project and perform this conversion?
I chose not to "continue" until I know more about why Encore is crashing, because it might convert the subtitles and then crash! But one unique thing about that project (besides the existence of subtitles) is that the solitary video stream is a VOB file from a DVD previously burned, rather than the more typical MPEG2 or AVI. I have no idea if any of this information matters, but I'm telling you everything I know.
Does anyone know what might be causing the problem, particularly with non-subtitled projects, and/or a solution or workaround? I own no version in between 1.0 and CS3, so I can't save it 1.5 or 2.0, which is the only other action suggested by the KB article besides removing my non-existent subtitles...

In followup:
This is a distillation of the process for converting a Project from a previous version of Encore to a newer version remotely.
The problem: a user had Encore 1.0 and needed to get the Project into CS4. They did not have any intermediate version of Encore. The Encore 1.0 Project was shipped to me, to convert it in Encore 2.0, so that CS4 could deal with it. Because the computers were a few thousand miles apart, we had to do more than just Open the Project in Encore 2.0. This would be all that would be required if the versions were on the same machine, or over a LAN and just in different offices.
The entire folder structure is required. The Project will be in a folder (Ill call this the Mother Folder) with the .NCOR file, and then a series of Child Folders below in the hierarchy. The exact names and the exact folder hierarchy is extremely important, as is the placement of some of the necessary files. The name of the .NCOR and the first level of Child Folders must match exactly. The structure is the one we see with each Encore Project:
Mother Folder with .NCOR
Child Folder Level One (same exact name as .NCOR with the
two files:
i ProjectPrefs2.xml &
i ProjectWorkspace.xml
Child Folder Level Two Cache with file mlf.cache.v7"
Child Folder Level Two Sources
Child Folder Level Three Menus with Menu .PSD files
In this case, the folder structure, with Menus and all files, except Video and Audio Assets were shipped to me. All Transcode files, etc. were also omitted.
Once the .NCOR (older version) has been Opened in the later version, a Save_As will create a new Project with folder/file structure. This entire structure needs to be in place on the machine with the newer version to allow it to be Opened. In my case, this complete structure was archived in WinRAR as a .RAR file and shipped out.
All of this is probably very obvious to most others. Again, if one is working on the same machine, or a LAN connected set of machines, it is a lot easier. Im just listing the steps and requirements, should Encore Projects be Opened on remote machines, whether for testing or for conversion.
[I just hope that the formatting of this doesn't get "pear-shaped," when posted]

Can't Open Premire CS6 Projects in new Premier CC

Hi,
After a major equipment failure my company's IT guy re-installed the latest available version of Premier, CC. For the past year I've been using CS6, and now I'm finding I can't open previous projects. Is there a way to fix this using CC or would it be better (or even possible) to dump CC and try to re-load CS6. (Disclaimer: I am not remarkably tech savvy, mainly a writer/producer-type that's still fairly new to Adobe products)
Thanks for any and all help you can provide!

WHICH CS6 do/did you have... the perpetual license version with a serial number, or the version installed by the Cloud?
